If I had to guess....a capacitor... perhaps this one?

Now that looks like and audio transformer or choke. The reason? Even then most power transformers had a metal shell (even at RS). Many audio transformers or power chokes did not (especially at RS).

The brown binding could be a rubber band but it is more likely the waxed cable binder (waxed string) used by virtually all TV repair folk then and for a long time before.
Great stuff for avoiding vibration problems. If I still had some I would rather use that than spiro-band or ty-wraps.

I believe you may be right Bep...that looks exactly like the audio transformers of the day.

I see a lot of things in that tpu, common with speaker and amp set-ups.

Something wasn't quite right about the audio transformer idea so I pulled out an old ARRL handbook.
Transformer color codes (at least standard ones) did not use white wires on the primary or secondary, slate either.
Also I don't recall ever seeing white wires on the secondary. However, slate, white and other light colored wires, of the same color, were used on power chokes. (the type generally found between the smoothing caps on the B+ line)
Red was common on the B+ line after the rectifiers. Slate, yellow and white were found on switching mode power supply output filters. Almost all are now toroidal or cylindrical. Then they were still seen on E cores and would usually only have two leads.

I had to watch the DVD again  I still don't see active devices of any kind - Tranny's FETs etc. The three legged device looks more like an epoxy dipped booster coil (they looke identical to flat radial lead mylar caps except the leads could be heavier and they had color bands or dots for coding.

as slapper suggested, it looks more like a HC-49US crystal, but decide for yourselves
